Chicken Chorba

This was a very satisfying and hearty soup. I pretty much followed the recipe but halved it since there are only 2 of us to feed and one of us is not a big soup eater. I also used canned beans and orzo instead of the broken spaghetti bc I already had that open.

Comforting and flavorful dish. Next time, I might add some garlic w/ the first step bc I like that flavor. And, I might use more liquid or less pasta b/c once leftovers are refrigerated the pasta absorbs all of the fluid, not longer rendering this a brothy soup (more stewy).

NOTE: The recipe ingredient list does not include saffron, but the instructions do; I just added the saffron in as directed, but am not sure if that is how it is meant to be used since I do not use saffron in my cooking.

This recipe was absolutely amazing everybody enjoyed it !! It was absolutely delicious it was hearty and like a big bowl of comfort food on a cold day!!
I did not soak peas overnight I used canned and because I was feeding three big men I did opt for 2 cans of the chickpeas/ rinsed.
And I kept the water the same the recipe card for 6 1/3 cup of water are utilized- a carton of vegetable stock ( 4 cups) and then I used the 2+ cups of regular water to add in with that. I only used 4 ounces of dry pasta though.
This will absolutely be a family favorite from now on and I can see it being requested quite often.
PS: this is the first time I’ve ever really worked with turmeric, I did not know that it would stain my white countertops nor my white ladle. But with it going to be a new family favorite I don’t see it being an issue as the same ladle all of the time! 409 kitchen cleaner actually pulled it right out of my counter it was not an issue. I will however be more careful in the future.
Thank you for this absolutely amazing dish!!
